• New Melee Skill support - 16 May 2024

  Small update tonight: Added a new Lightning Melee tagged support: Capacitor Discharging Hitting a Jolted Enemy has a 50% Chance to cause a bolt of Lightning to strike up to 3 nearby enemies, consuming the Jolt. Damage inflicted by Lightning deals damage equal to the initial Hit Damage multiplied by 200% of the Jolt on the original enemy. Lightning can Critically Strike, but it cannot inflict Ailments. Also doubled the base radius of all Curse skills at max level. Also fixed a timing bug with a couple melee abilities. Currently working on a bunch of new skill supports, as well as some uniques to give new build potential. Cheers! zediven

  Good morning, I was able to get a few things done, and I wanted to get an update out for everyone. This patch includes the following (non-exhaustive) changes: Items now drop with Affix Effectiveness. This starts dropping after zone level 100, and will boost certain affixes on the item by the rolled effectiveness. Changed Skill Loadouts so there is no longer a penalty for primary/secondary/minor, but now there are fewer support slots accordingly. I've balanced monster life as a result. New unique item which provides extra radius. Buffed Collateral Damage supports effective radius Changed in game font to be more readable. Fixed bug with pickups sometimes getting locked. Added confirmation dialog when interacting with the hideout portal. Started work at adding more starter templates for different classes. Buffed Item Quantity and Item Rarity for higher tier zones.

As well, there are a number of new skills, a brand new passive tree, and character classes (with free respec).

• Hotfix 0.5.5.3 - 9 November 2023

  Hey all, One last update before I'm away for a few days. Just deployed a hotfix to the game fixing the random crashing people were experience. The actual bug was complicated, but here's the I left in one line of debugging code which caused low level items to "try to roll" drop-only affixes, with a 50% chance. This meant if you were playing in a zone under level 80, then when an item dropped, it had a 50% chance to crash the game. This has been fixed. Cheers, zediven Build ID: 12663486 to check you are running the hotfix.

• Patch 0.5.5 - 8 November 2023
